(It's about an honest president!)
[edit] Oh no, hang on, it's about an honest man pretending to be the President! My bad. :-)
Nigel Moore May 23rd, 2003, 01:50 PM Dirty Dancing
Keith Loh May 23rd, 2003, 02:03 PM Okay, if sports fantasies are allowed, then THE NATURAL.
Keith Loh May 23rd, 2003, 02:11 PM How does DIRTY DANCING make it as a musical? It's a movie with dancing that has songs but the story isn't told in the musical numbers.
Here's some more that I loved:
ALL THAT JAZZ
SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER and UNCUT
JESUS CHRIST: SUPERSTAR
Nigel Moore May 23rd, 2003, 02:42 PM My wife would like to add Jesus Christ Superstar.
I'm not sure whether this is Christian genre, Musical genre, a crossover, or a genre of its own (Christian Musical Lloyd Webber genre perhaps?)
Whatever, it's her choice, not mine!
Nigel Moore May 23rd, 2003, 02:46 PM I don't like films that use music specifically to tell the story, as I mentioned elsewhere it contradicts my lack of imagination.
But I liked On The Town and South Pacific
Richard Alvarez May 23rd, 2003, 04:00 PM Hmmm,
Seperate sports fantasy heading maybe....
Field of Dreams.
Mark Moore May 23rd, 2003, 05:15 PM Almost any Rock Hudson, Doris Day movie.
HIS GIRL FRIDAY
SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE
The scene describing the DIRTY DOZEN was great.
MURPHY'S ROMANCE
PRINCESS BRIDE
Michael Wisniewski May 23rd, 2003, 06:14 PM The Princess Bride
Army of Darkness
Matt Betea May 23rd, 2003, 08:39 PM I liked Nosferatu and the spin off of it, Shadow of the Vampire.
Zac Stein May 23rd, 2003, 09:23 PM LIFEFORCE!!!

Zac
Marco Leavitt May 23rd, 2003, 09:50 PM Fearless Vampire Killers. A very young (and alive) Sharon Tate!
Matt Betea May 23rd, 2003, 10:18 PM Strange Brew :p
Chris Hurd May 24th, 2003, 07:48 AM Stadt der Verloren Kinder.
Everything by Jean Vigo... L'Atalante, Zero de Conduite, Apropos de Nice.
Everything by Alexander Dovshenko, especially Zemlya ("Earth"), one of my all-time favorites.
Cinema Paradiso.
Nathan Gifford May 24th, 2003, 01:14 PM I think from a technical standpoint The Color Purple stands out. Why it didn't win an award is beyond me. Frankly I think Whoopi Goldberg's best movie.
Of the best job burying a film that has to go to Barbarosa featuring Willie Nelson. I have always thought that was one of the better westerns.
In the Hollywood attempting to correct its lame writing in mysteries category I'd say The Sixth Sense. My only complaint about the movie is that they didn't warn us that they had a good script!
For Christmas movies, who could argue with A Christmas Story. Though Its a Wonderful Life is neck and neck with Story.
In animation Baski's Wizards is a gem. It demonstrates the fledling talent of this animator and why Disney later hired him. As I recall, the character Elenore was even featured in Playboy's Letters section.
Dan Uneken May 25th, 2003, 09:46 AM Anyone saw "Ciao Manhattan" with a live Edie Sedgwick?
Saw it 30 years ago or so. Was impressed, can't remember why though..
Rob Lohman May 26th, 2003, 07:05 AM I don't know who asked the question, but I haven't seen
Amsterdamned. It supposed to have some cool boat chase
seens on the water indeed (in the city). Amsterdam is an okay
city, but not the nicest one here in Holland in my opinion....
And no, Holland isn't the capital of Amsterdam. And no, Amsterdam
isn't the capitol of Holland either!
It does have the largest airport in the country though!
I have only seen one gay movie: F---ing Amal which I liked.
About two young girls who discover their love for eachother.
